I don't want to sound lame or anything, but I kind of expected a bit more performance out the best DX11 card on the market. I think the business approach AMD has been taking has been perfect, very much in line with Intel in a lot of ways. I also think the idle power is something to be commended, but it just doesn't seem like it is the powerhouse that many were expecting.

So its somewhere in between the HD 4870X2 and the GTX 295, sometimes pulling ahead of the GTX 295.

Good show!

Looks nice, to those who say they're disappointed by the performance, wait until there's improved drivers available and the game are updated to fully support the new GPU(s).

Wow, I just checked that out about two hours ago (when I got home from school) and everything was fresh out!

EDIT: Nvm, I'm stupid, that's because they just added the XFX HD 5870 and the HIS HD 5870, all are the same price and they are charging for shipping .

Anybody want to sell their HD 4800 cards for uber cheap
